Checkfire FX-LI-006-MCF Lithium-ion Battery Fire Extinguisher - 6 Litre

As the world evolves, the way we live evolves. Which means fire safety measures need to be one step ahead of new risks, always. With statistics showing lithium-ion battery fires having quadrupled in number since 2020, the CheckFire team has been working behind the scenes on an important range of fire extinguishers, specifically designed to tackle the unique dangers posed by lithium-ion battery fires.

The LFX range has been specifically designed to tackle lithium-ion battery fires across a wide range of applications.

In addition to primary fire risks, the LFX fluorine-free range of fire extinguishers also protect from secondary A-class fires that have been caused by the exploding batteries.

Part of The Green Range, this six-litre fire extinguisher fiercely tackles the unique risks of lithium-ion battery fire. It’s completely fluorine-free, with an NTA 8133 fire extinguisher certification that proves its reliability and effectiveness in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires.

Suitable for devices up to 600Wh ratings, our compact yet high-performing fire extinguisher is ideal for environments such as supermarkets, which house large amounts of lithium-ion-powered scanners, as well as homes with devices such as hoverboards.

Using a water-based agent that discharges as an endothermic foam, LFX quickly breaks down the chain reaction in thermal runaway and cools the temperature of the batteries, absorbing significantly more heat than water alone. It also protects from secondary A-class fires, extinguishing any ‘peripheral’ fires potentially caused by exploding batteries.

With the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 now recognising that lithium-ion batteries need to be considered in all fire risk assessments in the UK, there has never been a better time to stock up on this innovative solution and stay prepared.
